42 19TH-CENTURY CARVED GILTWOOD HALL TABLE

After a design by Robert Adam, 1728-1792, This example is similar to a table designed by Robert Adam for the salon at Nostell Priory, a Palladian house, near Wakefield in Yorkshire.

The table top is decorated with auspicious painted symbols, possibly derived from Baron Pierre Hughes d'Hancaville's Cabinet of the Hon. W. Hamilton. The harmonious use of urns, anthemion sprays and acanthus leaf swags, all emanating from a ray of ostrich feathers is engaging. The ostrich feather is symbolic of the law, truth, balance, order, harmony, and of morality. The goddess Themis was often depicted as carrying a sword while wearing an ostrich feather in her hair to symbolise truth and justice.

The Egyptians knew Themis as Ma'at: the term 'magistrate' is derived from this ancient source. Tables similar to the model discussed here were thought to have been in the collection of the Dukes of Leinster.

These were characterised by scagliola marble tops attributed to Pietro Bossi, who was active in Dublin from 1785 to 1798. Bossi is especially famous for his chimneypieces.

109 PAIR OF 19TH-CENTURY CAST IRON BORGHESE GARDEN URNS

The Borghese Vase is a monumental bell-shaped krater or large vase sculpted in Athens from Pentelic marble in the second-half of the 1st century BCE. It was made as a garden ornament for export to the Roman market and depicts the thiasus, the ecstatic retinue of Dionysus, the Greek god of winemaking and wine. The procession depicted on the frieze is composed of a group of inebriated revellers. The Borghese Vase was rediscovered in Rome in 1566 and was acquired by the Borghese family, a powerful noble Italian family with papal connections, and were originally from Sienna.

Napoleon purchased the vase in 1808 and it has been part of the collection held at the Musee du Louvre, Paris, since 1811. Handyside Foundry, an important English ironworks, was renowned for its fountains and garden ornaments. It was founded in 1848 and the quality of its castings was exceptional. It produced copies of the Medici urns, and busts that included those of Shakespeare's, Milton, and Wellington. The foundry's first catalogue of ornamental ironwork was first published in 1873.
